The quintessential stylish SUV everyone should try before they buy

Taking a look at the new Mazda Cx5 - by Nedahl Stelio

The Mazda CX-5 Akera model is the top of the range in this very popular five seater SUV. Inside is pretty swish, you’ll get leather seats that are very comfortable to sit on, and can also be heated, plus a leather steering wheel.

The dash is vegan leather gives a stylish finish. There’s just the right amount of gloss through the centre console and the boot opens and closes with a click of a button on the key. Super helpful.

Parking is relatively easy as you’ve got front, reverse and 360 degree view cameras to make it virtually impossible to nick the car while squeezing in or out of parks. I particularly like the 360 view camera if I’m parking next to a wall.

Turn the sound up because the audio is really good and you can live a less-stressed life if you sing in the car, proven fact.
